Vocational training statistics

The number of qualified electricians is declining, making recruitment harder for companies. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino are asking the minister about statistics, training trends, and actions to guide young people toward skilled trades facing shortages—especially in the electrical profession.

Question

„Eis gouf zougedroen, dat d’Unzuel vun den ausgebilten Elektriker an deene Leit, déi sech an enger Formation professionelle zum Elektriker befannen, zënter enger Zäit réckleefeg wier. Dëst hätt zur Folleg, dat et fir Patronen a Betriber ëmmer méi komplizéiert géif ginn, ausgebilten Elektriker ze fannen.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir d’Educatioun, Kanner a Jugend follgend Froe stellen:

  1. Existéiere Statistiken doriwwer, wéi eng Handwierksberuffer an de leschten 10 Joer réckleefeg Zuelen an hire jeeweilege Formatiounen opweisen? Gëllt dëse réckleefegen Trend och fir den Elektrikerberuff?
  2. Ginn et Zuelen déi beleeën, wéi eng Formatiounen am Handwierksberäich aktuell vun de Jonke verstäerkt suivéiert ginn?
  3. Wat fir Mesurë gi geholl fir di Jonk besonnesch a Beruffer ze orientéieren, wou eng Penurie um Marché ass an déi net esou attraktiv an den Ae vun deene Jonke sinn?“

Answer

Ad 1)

Eng gewësse Fluktuatioun an den Inscriptiounszuelen gëtt et bei de Beruffer aus dem Handwierk ëmmer. Et kann ee soen, datt zanter der Reform vun 2019, wou d’Evaluatioun mat Punkten erëm agefouert gouf, déi meeschte Beruffer stabel ware respektiv an d’Luucht gaang sinn.

Bei de Beruffer, wou sech aktuell eng negativ Tendenz weist, wat d’Inscriptiounen ugeet, fënnt ee follgend Beruffer: Coiffeur, Serrurier, Couvreur oder och Vendeur-magasinier du secteur automobile. Do dergéint gi bei follgende Beruffer d’Inscriptiounszuelen an d’Luucht: Esthéticien, Peintredécorateur, Carreleur a Menusier.

Wat d’Elektriker ugeet, esou waren tëschent 2018-2019 an 2024-2025 an der Moyenne 225 Kandidaten an der Ausbildung ageschriwwen an et sinn der aktuell 222.

D’Ausbildunge mat den héchsten Aschreiwungszuelen (CCP an DAP zesummegeholl) sinn aktuell:

Coiffeur297
Mécatronicien d’auto et moto266
Electricien222
Installateur chauffage-sanitaire182
Peintre-décorateur145
Esthéticien115

Ad 3)

Eng sektoriell Promotioun gëtt vum Ministère fir Educatioun, Kanner a Jugend aus net gemaach. Eng allgemeng Promotioun vum Handwierk (wei och deene reschtleche Beruffsausbildungen) gëtt aktuell ënner anerem scho via d’YEP!-Schoulfoire an d’Promotioun vun de Beruffer duerch d’Maison de l’orientation gemaach. Am Regierungsprogramm ass och eng Compagne commune fir d’Stäerke vun der Beruffsausbildung tëscht all de Partner vun der Beruffsausbildung virgesinn. Dës ass aktuell amgaang ausgeschafft ze ginn.

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
